Golden Teapot Hold and Win: Rattle the Lids on Golden Teapots for Up to 5,000x Prizes

Booongo introduces us to Golden Teapot Hold and Win, where a 5x4 grid carries Chinese-themed items. The old lady, our host, wild and joint highest-paying symbol, hides a shelf full of interesting stuff for us to hunt. It holds 10 retriggerable free spins with wild multipliers up to 5x and a Hold and Win bonus with jackpots up to 5,000x your bet.

My base game was busy, with winning combos appearing every two to four spins, but never higher than 2.25x my bet. That’s sweet, but unluckily, in more than 70 spins, I never came close to landing one of the available bonuses.

The first one is a free spins game that you can trigger by landing three or more coin-tree scatters anywhere on the reels. You always get 10 spins, but every extra tree makes grandma stronger, as her wilds carry 2x with three trees, 3x with four and 5x with five. Once inside, she brings that multiplier into every win she joins, and three more trees pour in 5 extra spins.

For the Hold and Win bonus, you must land six or more teapots, white or gold. Inside, only teapots and a red Collect door that gathers all their values drop onto the grid, while the row above it serves boosters to the reels below. 

These can add value, multiply it up to 10x, or turn a white teapot gold. Two to five gold teapots bring in jackpots, the highest worth 5,000x the bet, and filling the whole grid doubles every teapot.

Overall, I missed the buy bonus, or any feature in the main game. Booongo usually includes one in their games, but my session was proof that a slot without these needs to rely on other things, and desperately hoping for bonuses to land is not one of them.
